SHOWER-BATH ARRANGEMENT;

Application filed June 14, 1923, Serial No. 645,438.

'To all whom t may concern:

Be it known that l, JOSEPH ToMAsELLo, a former subject of the King of Italy, who has forsworn his allegiance to said King of Italy and declared his intention of becoming a citizen of the United States, and therefore is not now a citizen orl subject of any country, and a resident of the city of Chicago, county of Cook, and State of Illinois, have inventedl certain new and useful lmprovements in Shower-Bath Arrangements, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to shower bath arrangements, and more particularly to a detachable knockdown device intended priniarily to be used in conjunction with a bath tub, and which is of such character that the same may be removed bodily from operative position, and disassembled for storage in a small space, or parts of the device may be disassembled as convenience may dictate, the construction being such that the position of the spraying nozzle may be adjustably varied as' desired.

Another object of the invention is to provide a spraying nozzle which is supported in such manner that the spray thereof is directed downwardly into the bath tub, the nozzle being provided with a yflexible tube adapted for connection with the water mixing spigot ordinarily provided in a bath tub, said tube permitting the adjustment of the nozzle to various positions,the tube being provided with means to prevent acute bending thereof which would result in interference with the flow of water to the nozzle.

Other objects will appear hereinafter.

The invention consists in the combinations and arrangements of parts hereinafter described and claimed,

The invention will be best understood by reference to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification and in which the ligure is a side elevation of the invention, partially in section, showing the device in its assembled position;

Referring to the drawings, 6 is intended to represent a fragment of the wall of a bath room, containing a bath tub 7, provided with the usual water mixing faucet 8. Secured to the wall 6 of the bath room in a position adjacent to the bath tub 7 is a bracket 9, which bracket is provided with a stud 10 upon which is telescopically mounted a tubular member 11, the inner end of which is detachably connected with the stud 10 by a removable pin 12. rlfelescopically engaged with the member 11 is an extension 13, there being a thumb nut llhtapped into the outer end of the tubular member 1l for adjustably holding the extension 13 in position. The outer end of the extension 13 is provided with an aperture in which is slidably mount*` ed a hanger 15, there being a thumb nut 1,6 tapped into the outer end of the extension 13 for adjustably securing the hanger 15 in various positions. The lower end of the hanger 15 is bifurcated the furcations being adapted to receive therebetween the ends 18 of a clamp 19, there beinga pin 2O for holdingthe ends 18 between the furcations` of the lower end of the hanger 15,

The clamp 19 is disposed about theend 21 of a flexible tube 22, there being a curved section of piping 23 mounted in the tube 22 as shown, which tube telescopically engages a boss 24 formed on a spraying nozzle 25. rlhe other end of the tube 22 is provided with a coupling 26 having a rubber eXtension 27 adapted to be pushed into the faucet 8.

By the above described arrangement it will be noticed that the nozzle 25 may be moved to various positions by adjusting the hanger 15 with respect to the extension 13, and by adjusting the extension 13 with respect to the tubular member 11, and it is pointed out that the entire device in its assembled condition may be removed bodily from the wall 6 by disengagement of the pin -12 to release the end of the tubular meinber from the stud 10; it is also pointed out that, if desired, the support including the tubular member 11 and extension 13 may i remain in position while the hanger 15, nozzle 25, and tube 22 may be removed as a unit, or the hanger 15 may remain in position also and the tube and nozzle detached by removin the pin 20. lt is also pointed out that tie curved section of pipe 23 prevents bending of the tubing 22 at an acute angle, at the same time permitting movement of the nozzle to various positions of adjustment. When desired, the device may be disassembled and stored within a small space.

While I have illustrated and described the preferred form of construction for carrying my invention into effect, this is capable of variation and modification without departing from the spirit of the: invention. I, therefore, do not wish to be limited to the precise details of'A construction set forth, butA desire to avail myself of such variations and i modifications as comewwithin the scope of the appended claims.

Having described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:

' shower kbracket providedv with a stud; 'supporting l. The combination with a bath tub, of a, v.shower bath arrangement including a bracket providedl with a stud; tubular supporting means adjustably embracing said stud.; an. extensionv member mounted for means including a tubular member telescopic'ally` and deta'chably engaged with said stud ';"ane1 `rtension telesc'op'ically and adjustably engaged with said tubular membefr,V said'v extension being provided with means for slidably andfadj'ustably receiving alian-"ger, said hanger having its lower end' bifurc'at'ed; a, 'spraying nozzle having a flexib'le connection with a water supply; and a clamp disposed about` said connection and havingits ends detachablA secured between the. furcaltions of the en .Y of said hanger; substantially A'as described.

8. The combination witlia bath tub, of a shower bath arrangement including a bracket havingv a stud; supporting means co.ln'prisingl `a 'tubular member adapted for telescopic detachable engagement with said stud; an extension telescopically and adjustably connected with said tubular member; a han-ger adjustably connected with said extensiomthe lower end of said hanger being bifurcated; a spraying nozzle having aboss` thereon; a flexible tubing having one end adapted for connection with said boss, the other end of said tubing being adapted for detachable connection with a water supply; and a curved clamping band disposed about Said tubing and having its ends detachably and adjustably secured between the furcations at the end of said hanger; substantially as described.

4. A shower bath arrangement including a bracket provided with a boss; a tubular member having a telescopic and detachable connection with said boss; an extension adjustably connected with said tubular member; a hanger adjustably connected with said extension the lowei1 end of said hanger being bifurcated; a spraying nozzle provided with a boss, there being a liexible connection having one end adapted for connection with said boss, the opposite end of said flexible connection being adapted to communicate with a water supply; a clamp disposed about said connection adjacent said nozzle and having its end disposed between they urcations on the end of said hanger; and a pin detachably extending through said furcations and the ends of said clamp; substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have signed my naine to this specification in the presence of two subscribinof witnesses.
